Very simple point - the expectation is that as a result of the Leave vote, significantly more business will move out of the UK than otherwise would have and less business will move into the UK.

Whoah whoah whoah. People have had enough of experts and "business" telling them stuff they don't want to hear.

Yes, this is what the EU does with the money the member states pay in. It socialises costs like this. We do this in our very own country where certain regions contribute most of the money but the entire country benefits so that we all live peacefully. I liked this concept across Europe, others do not and prefer other regions look out for themselves.

Well it would have been helpful to acknowledge that in your first reply. I suppose 15+ years of constant house price inflation has made a lot of people forget about worse case scenarios.

Popular properties can get bid up in price if there's lots of interest. Each case has to be taken on its own merit. A vast difference between say a starter home and a forever home. We've also had years of low interest rates. That's breeding complacency.

I prefer to use the word 'subsidise' rather than 'socialise ' as more of us know what it means.

Dell have put their prices for PC's up by 10%.

The UK's PC makers rejoice.

Did you know the eu is currently funding £280m for expansion of facilities at UCL, £700m funding for the Thames Tideway Tunnel, and £360m funding towards the smart meter roll out by British Gas. This is all part of £16b investment in British projects over the last 3 years (crossrail, Manchester metrolink etc.)

If general, a drop in the trade weighted value of the pound, will lead to more import becoming more expensive.
This will generally lead to UK people substituting home produced products for imported products.
It also means that exporters can reduce their prices in local (consuming) countries and / or increase their profit margins in UK currency.
Inflation will probably rise int he UK
If the overall effect is to reduce imports and increase exports, then this will reduce our very high trade deficit and reduce our need to borrow foreign currency.
A lower currency will encourage overseas money to invest in the UK and to buy UK assetts.
There will be people who are be winners and and some will be losers.

You mean a bit like these projects that they've funded in the UK?
